2 very awesome boats. The X25 won't go down much in value for several years, but than again neither will the axis. I think I would lean towards the X25. It's a bad a$$ boat that can Wake and surf with the beat of them and the only difference bet...

I agree with the postings above. Make sure to offer up gas money, don't "wait to be asked". Help clean and wipe down the boat and just be friendly & helpful in general and people will invite you back. Showing up with, say, a case of water or so...
